| | Many people have asked me how's married life, so here's the top few questions here...
1. What do you call your in-laws?
I follow what John calls his dad, "Pa".
I still remember the first time i called his dad, "Pa", and he deliberately went, "har?", and i had to repeat myself. 
While i tried calling his mum at first, "Lai Lai", but it didn't sound catchy enough.
So i now call her "Ma".
As for John, he calls my parents what i call them, "Daddy" & "Mummy".
Yes, of course it sounded weird at first, but i've gotten used to it now.
2. How do you get to work?
It used to be a 15 min train journey to my office, which includes getting to the station in the first place.
Now it's a torturous 1 hr bus ride on 188 if i have the time to spare.
If not it's a $8 cab ride to Clementi and a 15 min train journey to reach.
This part of married like, i no likey!
But staying at Har Paw Villa does have its perks, i'm nearer to shopping and dining areas!
Via cab of course. Hee.
3. Has anything changed?
Nothing drastic changed in terms of lifestyle that i need to moan or complain about.
Mainly because i was moaning and complaining and got issues settled before we got married? Hah!
I'm just as sedentary as i was with him.
Now even more so since i spend everyday with him.
I've only seen my parents once in the past 2 mths, i kinda feel guilty of the empty next syndrome that they are facing now. 
As for our relationship, it has grown stronger then it already is.
John is more vocal with his hubba-hubba-lurve, while i'm consciously more domestic like cleaning the room, gardening, spending more time with in-laws.
I'm so blessed with what i already have, i will occasionally kick myself in the butt if i think my job sucks so it makes be feel blue  ... BUT my job is not everything in my life.
Everything else except my job is my life.
I have family and friends and a cat called Zim!
Like what a wise person in a double rounded pointy landmark with low sofas said, i have no confidence in my career, but confidence in my relationship and myself.
4. When are you having kids?
I've always given the same answer; i can't take care of myself properly, how to take care of a child?
John has always given the same answer, no money no hope of the future state of the world, how to raise a child?
I guess that doesn't answer the question, right? Hah!
But there's 1 question that no one has yet to ask, or perhaps dare not to ask....
Do you have any regrets?
No regrets!
If i had married 4 years sooner (too young) or 4 years later (too old), i would have.
But at this point of my life, i know it's just right.
There might be someone else out there smarter, richer and of course taller then John... BUT
there is only one John who made me laugh, but now makes me laugh harder.
He made me love, but now makes me love harder.
Anymore questions?
